Yes.... but I'm towing a camper van that is suitable only for moderate off road. 

If you are staying at one of the campgrounds south of the gap, we should have a few at the Alice Springs Brewery, a popular local…

 

Consider a day trip without trailer to Chmabers Pllar, or to the East Mac’s.

 

Another day trip without the trailer would be palm valley.

 

Returning home, I would strongly suggest a trip to the West Mac’s, a stunning place, stay at Glen Helen the drive the Mereenie loop to Kings Canyon, doing the hike around the canyon.

Both of these places are brilliant and the trailer should have no issues with the loop.

From the canyon, head to Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa for a few days before heading back south.

Just a few suggestions for you, there’s a heap you can do out here, just depends on your timeframe.

 

Thanks @Rod Grinter Riot Squad and all the rest of you for your answers and advice/info.

I now have a number of ideas to research and consider.

One more question. What is the best/ safest/ cleanest caravan park in town. I have a very mature 14 year old young lady making her first road trip with me so facilities and ambience are an important consideration.

I would recommend Discovery Parks, 15-20 minute walk to game, it’s just out of town, but nothing in town is far

I'm not sure about sitting with the Demon Army though, as I might run into Demonland's resident nut case @WalkingCivilWar - scary 

Demonland has several confirmed nut cases as well as numerous serial windbags.

I should have added that I'm driving. 

I intend to take a fairly direct route there but I'm not sure what I'll do for the return. Maybe Uluru , maybe go north for a while and come back through NSW. Suggestions welcome.

BBO Uluṟu and the Olga’s are worth the trip, the road is pretty good but time your drive during daylight hours only, we were advised to stay of the roads at night.!!

For all those coming to Alice, don’t expect a great nights sleep on the Saturday night.

 

July 1st is Territory day, the one day a year that firework ms are legal, they sell like hotcakes all day and go off through the night.

 

to call it a bit crazy is an understatement!

 

Who's brilliant idea was it to play AFL footy in the middle of the desert watched by 5 people 26 dingos and 300 bluetongue lizards?

Im assuming we do it for a suitcase full of cash.  Probably tax exempt too.

I'd like to know why it takes a member of the footy club calling the club to confirm this fixture game. Terrible comms

Que?

The date and time for the match was confirmed on 18 May along with all the R16-24 matches.

It's been listed as such on the AFL and MFC websites since then.

Tickets only went on sale last week though.

I know it's none of my business - but do you need to take one of the maids with you?

Well there we go. Guess they solved the stand offs and issues surrounding it.

I'm dying to go to one, held off this year because it looked in doubt. May check things again though, should be amazing for everyone going.

It’s a brilliant game, in a wonderful setting and often sold out.

 

BTW, sightings of Lungkatta are not too common out here

You must book Ulara CP in advance. Hermans berg is interesting

Don’t knock the game until you have actually been.  I attended a few years ago and it is the best live game experience I have ever had.  Everything about it was unique and special.  Give it a go if you can.  You won’t regret it.

What TF is a lungkatta?

Is that because of the chance of hitting Roos on the road at night? They can get pretty big up there.

Yes WWS Roos Camels, Donkeys apparently pretty feral after sunset, mind you I actually never saw any road kill between Uluṟu and Alice??

Most road kill happens when it’s been very dry out here, in those times you can see a great deal.

 

This year not so much of a problem, though definitely take care of driving at night

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
